41 Ross Alley gallery will be exhibiting 藝術展華埠: Chinatown’s Public Art from Friday, August 9 through Sunday, August 26, 2018. This exhibit features the ways that art has defined and beautified the Chinatown neighborhood -- from the colorful murals, to pagoda-styled architecture, to the everyday practices of tai chi and Cantonese opera performed on the streets and parks.

The gallery will also be a studio for a new mosaic mural in progress, created by the youth of Chinatown Community Development Center working with visual artist Margarita Soyfertis. Chinatown’s Public Art explores how artists and community members enhance the neighborhood through creative expressions, often incorporating community history and cultural traditions, with the hope that people view the neighborhood in new and memorable ways.
